I have been around politics and political debate for most of my life as a participant and an active observer. Wood certainly lives up to her slogan of documenting the absurd through her analysis of economics and politics. I cannot remember, even during my communist and socialist days (I am now an active moderately conservative Republican), saying such absurd things as part of a political analysis, or what ever it might be called. This is like living the 1930’s in a blind comedy come black comedy. I assume that such articles in the Medium, and there are quite a few, are actually more in the mode of the Onion. I appreciate the humor of the article intended or otherwise. I think that it will take a bit of time to get used to such absurdity in writing and the language that tends to be scraped from a dry toilet bowl.
